Aim To identify a complex of predictors and to create a mathematical model for prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischemic stroke of undetermined etiology. Material and methods The study included 981 patients with ischemic stroke. Effects of the following factors were evaluated: gender, a history of stroke, a history of thromboembolism, presence of diabetes mellitus, grade of arterial hypertension, functional class (FC) of chronic heart failure (CHF), age, data of blood biochemistry, and data of coagulogram.

- Stroke is a significant global health issue due to its high rates of mortality and disability, with ischemic strokes accounting for nearly 90% of cases and many deaths.
- The study aims to identify the best methods for heart rate monitoring in ischemic stroke patients to detect atrial fibrillation (AF), a major cause of stroke but lacking a universal detection method.
- Findings suggest that with proper heart monitoring, AF can be identified in up to 46% of patients with cryptogenic stroke, leading to recommendations for using anticoagulants for secondary stroke prevention.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 10,970 patients analyzed, most had ischemic stroke, with the exposed group being younger on average than the unexposed group and showing higher rates of comorbidities and stroke lethality.
- * The findings suggest that those living near the former test site are at increased risk for cerebrovascular diseases, highlighting the need for further longitudinal research to determine potential cause-and-effect relationships.
